Audi - L'irrésistible ascension

After being ousted from his own brand, August Horch founded Audi, then in 1910, then in 1932, the brand joined forces with three other manufacturers to found Auto Union, with its logo of four intertwined rings.
After the war, the group came under the control of Mercedes-Benz, manufacturing mainly cheap two-stroke cars. Losing momentum, Auto Union was sold to Volkswagen, mainly interested in factories, to meet the strong demand for Beetles.

However, the critical success of the F102, which became the Audi 72, encouraged the management to make Audi a brand offering luxurious and reliable front-wheel drive models. Under the leadership of Ferdinand Piëch, a brilliant engineer and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, innovation, symbolised by the five-cylinder engine and especially the Quattro all-wheel drive with its multiple rally victories, would propel Audi in a few decades to the level of other German premium brands.

Covering many segments of the automotive market, Audi has become a world-renowned and appreciated German sports brand while retaining its DNA, made of technology, innovation and quality.
This book invites you to relive this history through fourteen iconic models. From the Audi Typ C, the first Audi competition car, to the Audi e-tron Sportback, which revolutionized the 100% electric SUV, to the Audi Quattro, world rally champion (1982 1984), discover the history of the brand with the rings.

Audi, les anneaux magiques

Audi is definitely an atypical car brand in the German automotive landscape, with a history that goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, but which the general public only knows about the last thirty years, since the appearance of the revolutionary quattro. Since then, Audi has risen to the top three of the European high-end, with Mercedes and BMW. Unlike these two competitors, Audi remains an astonishing laboratory of design and technology.

Rediscover in this book from the Label Auto collection the emblematic models that have etched the genes of the brand with the four rings...

Audi - Innovation im Zeichen der Vier Ringe

Los Cuatro Aros - hoy símbolo mundialmente conocido de Audi - representan la unión de Audi, DKW, Horch y Wanderer. En 1932, tras la Gran Depresión, estas empresas se unieron formando Auto Union. Así comenzó una notable historia automovilística, de la que Audi es la única marca que permanece.

Este libro, ilustrado con numerosas imágenes de época, explica cómo se formó Auto Union. Presenta coches y motocicletas destacados de las marcas y explica por qué Audi sigue existiendo y por qué los Cuatro Aros no se convirtieron en cinco tras la fusión con NSU en 1969.

También se presentan las innovaciones modernas y los modelos actuales de Audi, incluyendo tecnologías como quattro, Audi Space Frame y el motor de cinco cilindros, estudios de diseño, tendencias de estilo y éxitos en competición. Se muestran todas las series de la A1 a la R8, así como la historia de Auto Union y NSU y las marcas Ducati y Lamborghini.

Audi A2

When the first Audi A2 rolled off the production line in Neckarsulm in 1999, it was destined for great things: it was supposed to shake up the compact car market. Instead, the A2 passed unnoticed by the market. But even if it was not very popular at the time, today it is a sought-after classic - as a youngtimer on the used car market.

The Audi A2 was simply ahead of its time. The unusual van-like shape and the comparatively high price put off potential buyers at the time. But the A2 was a true milestone in automotive technology.
With its lightweight aluminum body, extremely low air resistance and economical engines, the smallest Audi of its time can still keep up with many current small car models today. Hardly any other small car at the time could offer the high-quality equipment with air conditioning, glass sunroof and leather seats, which were available on request.

In this book, Dirk-Michael Conradt tells the whole story of the small premium car. The experienced motor journalist and former editor-in-chief of the magazines Motor Klassik and sport auto is himself an A2 driver and fan.

- Complete chronology of the Audi A2 from the prototype to the finished model
- All technical data and production figures
- Around 200 partly unpublished photos from the Audi factory archive

Die Auto Union AG - Spurensuche Ost

The founding of Auto Union AG in 1932 was the first state-owned German automobile company, which united the car manufacturers Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer, which had been hit hard by the global economic crisis, rehabilitated them and led them to new heights. The brand's headquarters were in Chemnitz, although the company's administration was housed in the DKW headquarters in Zschopau in the early years.

Even today there are numerous architectural testimonies of the Auto Union in Saxony that have survived the bombing war, dismantling and planned economy - some renovated at great expense, but some left to decay and with an uncertain future.

The historian Martin Kukowski and the photographer Stefan Warter go on a search for clues and document the current state with impressive photos, accompanied by expert historical classification and photo documents from the archives.

With the support of Audi Tradition.

Einblicke: Die Fahrzeugsammlung der Audi AG

The history of the Audi brand stretches back to the 19th century. The automotive treasure trove is correspondingly large, encompassing several brands: in addition to Audi, Horch, NSU, DKW, Wanderer and Auto Union.

With this opulent illustrated book, Audi is opening its doors for the first time and allowing us to share in the fascinating range of its brand history, from the first Horch to the Sport-quattro prototype.

The Audi archive contains an impressive collection that is usually not accessible to ordinary mortals. In addition to regular series models, there are mainly one-off pieces: Audi prototypes, test vehicles, studies that were never realized. There are also Audis previously owned by prominent people, custom-made models, racing cars - simply everything that is relevant to the company's history.

In order to document the extremely extensive and extensive archives of Audi AG, in-house photographer Stefan Warter spent several days in the "holy halls". In the process, he tracked down some lost treasures from the brand's history. Special Audi models are examined in more detail in exciting essays. A visually stunning journey through Audi history!

Audi 100 Coupé S

NUEVO

Según la leyenda, el Audi 100 Coupé S no fue el resultado de una estrategia de marketing, sino del deseo personal del director técnico Ludwig Kraus. En los años sesenta, prefería un coupé a una berlina como coche de empresa. El equipo dirigido por el diseñador Hartmut Warkuß creó así un elegante modelo de dos puertas, comparable a los diseños de reconocidos estilistas italianos.

De acuerdo con la moda de la época, el interior contaba con asientos de pana y molduras de madera. El Coupé S estaba equipado con un motor de cuatro cilindros y 112 CV, suficiente para su bajo peso. El elevado precio de unos 14.000 marcos limitó las ventas y convirtió al modelo en un clásico muy buscado.

En esta monografía, el experto en Audi Dirk-Michael Conradt describe su desarrollo y variantes, decisivas para el estilo de la marca.

Audi Design - Zwischen Evolution und Revolution

Alongside technology, design is the deciding factor as to whether a car is perceived as attractive or not. Throughout its history (and prehistory), Audi AG has always managed to find the balance between these two poles. And so harmoniously that desirable automobiles have always been created under the sign of the four rings.
The current automobile design with the "Singleframe" radiator grille is also a prime example of the well thought-out, consistent design of a model family.

In two volumes, Prof. Dr. Othmar Wickenheiser, who has a doctorate in the development of automobile design, examines and explains the Audi design language in all its facets. As an automobile designer himself, he is excellent at clearly presenting complex issues using clear examples and drawing attention to things that may not have been noticed before.

It is in the nature of things that history, present and future are connected by a "common thread". A masterpiece that is bound to delight more than just fans of Audi design!

Die Auto Union GmbH - Spurensuche Ingolstadt

After the Second World War, there were still numerous vehicles from Auto Union AG on German roads, but the company was dissolved in 1948. The demand for spare parts and new cars was high, so in 1949 a new company was founded with headquarters in Ingolstadt: Auto Union GmbH. After several takeovers, today's Audi AG emerged.

Anyone who walks through the city with their eyes open can still find numerous architectural witnesses to the early years, even today, 70 years after the company was founded. In impressive photos, accompanied by expert historical classification and photo documents from the archives, this volume shows the current state of the buildings and invites you on an exciting journey of discovery.

With support from Audi Tradition.
